For the month of September, we have been going through review on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. In all of those things, we needed a reminder on how to do place value. To learn standard form, expanded form, and written form, we began something known as "math aerobics", something I remember learning in grade seven from one of my old teachers. The students really loved the rhythm actions that went with the catchy beat in order to remember the different terms.
The other way we reviewed place value was by using the computers in the computer the lab. I found some perfect websites that go over the same principles that I talk about in class. The students can't believe this is actually work! And....there is a quiz on Tuesday. Their homework is to practice Math computer games.....who would've thought?!
Thanks technology for helping math be fun!!!
